Description
De naam is afgeleid van de Leirekensroute, de fietsroute van Londerzeel naar Aalst, vertelt Leo De Smedt, Opwijkenaar en geestelijke vader van het bier. Op de Opwijkse ambachtenmarkt in de zomer van 2002 was het Leireken-bier voor het eerst te proeven. Het bier wordt sinds 2007 gebrouwen in Brouwerij Strubbe te Ichtegem in opdracht van Thylbert bvba. Voorheen werd het gebrouwen bij Brasserie de Silenrieux.

Pinkish red color. Yeast and just a hint of red fruit in the aroma. Raspberry, cherry, yeast berries and lemon in the flavor. Sweet, sugary and sticky. Cellar aromas and flavors. Sulphury. Disappointing.
